The field is described by a Lorentz-invariant action function is defined directly from the sources of the field at the retarded time on a flat spacetime background. The. The field of a moving, spherically symmetric body can be decomposed into near and far components which are defined explicitly. Assuming a superposition principle, we obtain an explicit description of the strain caused by gravitational waves generated by binary stars or black hole mergers, without the need of a linear approximation and gauge choice. Under this assumption, the gravitational waves are longitudinal. We also obtain an explicit formula for ratios of the amplitudes as measured by different detectors. This able us to test if the polarization can be longitudinal. We show that the event GW170814 can be explained in our model Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
